The big difference I see in this one when compared to the first 2 is the Habs will have rested legs. Both of the prior matches the Habs were playing on no rest (so were the panthers in the first one).

The thing that scares me a little bit is Thomas is listed as likely. He is the type of guy that would love nothing more in the world than to show up Price in his own building. Remember the matchups with Canucks (3-2 SO)? When he knows he's up against a premiere goalie and that people will be watching he brings his AAA game and I fully expect he will tonight. Habs are not packed with snipers and may have trouble scoring. It might not be Price who keeps this game Under it may be Thomas. He still isn't confirmed but I'm Taking the Panthers if he starts.

I totally agree "JDaggz".

As much as many people hate Thomas for his believes and outspoken ways, you can't take away the facts that he's a brilliant goalie. Florida also has won the last two games they've played. Should be a good matchup. My feelings instead of determining a winner is going with the UNDER! And even playing the under these days is hard to find. Lots of overs.

Why is the status still at likely??? I hate it when some coaches or teams make such a big thing to make it clear who is starting. I remember Torterella doing that when he was with the Rangers. Should be clear before the face-off who starts for them.
